Kid in a candy store...

After given the green light to workout I immediately decided my first workout would be to climb Camelback Mtn. a tough 1.5 mile scramble up a mountain in the middle of town. The 95* heat would be the added bonus to a great workout. I conspired with myself, ferreting gear aside so Mistress would not be suspicious of the training I had prepared.

The next morning I took some time to meditate on my plan and decided that it would not be prudent to challenge myself so strongly. I convicted myself once again for not paying attention to reality. I still have so far to go in this process. The dozens of admonishing emails and texts to 'take it easy' only cemented my resolve to reign it in.

Instead I planned a much simpler workout at the park next to my house, resting as necessary:

25 Pull Ups
50 Push Ups
50 Sit Ups
50 Floor Wipers, using two stable poles
50 Reverse Push Ups
50 Jumping Jacks
50 Burpies
20 minute run

Honestly I think the run 'hurt' me the most, though the screaming triceps today may disagree. Eight weeks ago I ran 3 hours at a moments notice with little effort. This week I am so glad I didn't stop running and really glad I only went for 20 minutes.

But hey I've been through a lot physically and had a long rest. So I'm not to beat up about it. I am just glad to not be hooked up to dialysis machine or be on a permanent training hiatus. As I have mentioned and try to constantly remember, statically I shouldn't be allowed any training right now and with it being conditional there is still a vast chasm to cross before understanding my true limitations and finding the sweet spot between itch and scratch.

Today I am going to OW swim a klick (military jargon for 1 kilometer or 1,000 meters), and attempt a 2.5 mile run. Each one lap of the underground duathlon the aztriclub is holding this Sunday. Jeff and I are going to check the run course out.

Friday I may ride to work, which is 30 miles RT and do that more regularly from now on when scheduling allows.

Have Fun.
